FIJIAN communities who are committed to the education of their children play a vital role in the nation’s development.
This was the message from Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama while commissioning the Tebara Adventist Kindergarten at Nadali, Nausori, yesterday. “Your passion for your children’s education is nothing short of an inspiration,” he said.
Mr Bainimarama said Fijian children benefited immensely from parents and community members who invested in their success as students.
He applauded parents “for showing the foresight” to prepare children for their education.
He said early childhood education was where strong, kind and courageous Fijian leaders of tomorrow were built on a foundation of morality and intellectual rigour that would serve them all their lives.
“Within the walls of this building, the children of your community will be gifted an invaluable start to their education.
“When they go on to primary school, secondary school and beyond, they will enjoy my Government’s total commitment to their success.
“They say it takes a village to raise a child.
“Through your support of this kindergarten, it’s clear that you are committed to that old expression, and to raising your children right. For that, I thank you.”
